5 minutes on the internet would have told him about all of the issues. Hell, even PBS had a show where a guy took a small roadtrip in CA in an electric vehicle and it to him like three days. He suffered all the same issues as this guy.
Some people are finding out that they can't even find replacement batteries, and if they do it could cost them 15k for a battery for a vehicle only worth 10k or less.
I just heard today that the bus company that Kamala and Biden were creaming themselves over has gone under. They're still trying to push electric semis that take 10 hours to charge for a range of 215 miles.
The push for electric vehicles is about control of an individual's transportation and to drive up the prices of everything. Not to mention some sweet kickbacks that are lining some skanky pockets in D.C.
Rant over.
We're conflating dissimilar things.
In one corner:
1.) Lousy, unreliable, low quality EVs that will likely go bankrupt or their product will go end of life. Chevy Volt? Rivian? Nikola?
In the other corner:
2.) A great vehicle at an affordable price that should be used for a proper use case. A Tesla Model S is a very good vehicle with features and quality equal to the BMW 345i and Audi A8 sedan. So if you wanted a great car and intend to drive it moderate distances and you want to pay $50,000 less, that is a great idea.
Anyone buying the terrible Ford Lightning for $115,000 when it at best should be $60,000 and work properly is the idiot. You can't blame the car industry for that one, just Ford and their idiotic customer. The former for making an overpriced junk car and the latter for overpaying for an unreliable vehicle not suited for his use-case.
